Description

The boundary wall to Tower Hamlets Cemetery was consecrated in 1841 and designed by Wyatt and Brandon. It was restored in the 1980s. The wall is made of stock brick and stands about 8 feet high. It features a rendered plinth and has piers at regular intervals, some of which are rendered and topped with gabled stone caps. There are dog-tooth cornices beneath brick-on-edge parapets that frame recessed bays between the piers.
